Default ring and cam question

im building a 4.8 to swap into my third gen camaro. i plan on keeping it na at first but adding a turbo later.can i use the stock type rings for boost later? i only plan on 10 or 12 psi. also i was planning on using texas speed torquer v2 with 112 lsa, will this work well for the turbo later? i want to make decent power na and not have to change everything later. thanks

Way to big of a cam for a 4.8 with a turbo.

Something like a TR220 114+2 would be what I would use.

how bad would it suffer with the turbo do you think? it probobly wont have the turbo for a year or two while i gather funds and i want power now but at the same time i dont want to give up a huge amount with the turbo. i just dont want to swap cams again when i go turbo if i can help it

also what about rings? ive read boost applications need bigger gaps in the rings. is 10 or 12 psi enough to bother? and if so will it hurt to just put the larger gapped rings in now and run it till i go turbo?
